...pitching assignment is as yet indefinite. If Whitmore has sufficiently recovered from a sore arm which he developed several weeks ago he will doubtless ascend the mound in Saturday's tilt. Should he be unable to pitch, however, it is a toss-up between the other five who will oppose the Terriers...
Excepting only the Unknown Soldier, the last hero to lie beneath the Arc de Triomphe up to last week was Victor Hugo, 43 years ago. The emotion of Frenchmen was keyed to such a pitch that even the official tellers of the Chamber of Deputies−men chosen for no other quality than their incorruptible honor−majestically lied when the Communist Deputies voted against a bill granting $12,000 to defray the expenses of the funeral. Though every Communist who had thus voted rose and blatantly proclaimed the fact, the official count showed that the bill had passed unanimously...
With lusty lungs that swelled together proudly under stiff white shirts, with good enunciation, faithful pitch and clean phrasing, Dartmouth won last week in Manhattan the 13th Inter-Collegiate Glee Club Contest. Twelve clubs competed?

For Mr. West once served as lawyer to Samuel Insull, than whom there is no mightier powerman. Indeed, just before his appointment Mr. West sold for $118,000 certain Insull securities which he had acquired for $67,000. Mr. West took the position that his Insull connection was a thing of the past, but, even so, promised to withdraw from any matter affecting Insull interests. To Senator Norris and his fellow "Progressives," however, the adequate control of public...
